JOHN DAY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

WINDOW-SHADE PULL.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 294,449, dated March 4, 1884.

' Application filed January 9,1884. (N model.) i

To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, JOHN DAY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented an Improvement in Window- Shade Pulls, of which the following is a specification.

' having two hooks, that close in opposite directions, and grasp the respective eyes upon the shade bar and slat. made of sheet metal, and can be ornamented to any desired extent and have afinished appearance, and are very strong.

In the drawings, Figure-1 is an elevation of the shade-bar 'with one link closed and the other open ready to be closed. -Fig. 2 is an bar, as shown.

These hooks usually are Usually there will be two links to each pull or Each link has two separate pieces pivoted or fastened together, and the hooks 1; 0 stand in opposite directions and face each other, so as to be closed upon and hook into the eye c-upon the pull, or the eyedupon the slat, or both.

In Fig. 1 the links are shown with hooks at both ends standing in opposite directions, the pivot 8 being in the middle; but as it is usually only necessary to hook or unhook one end of the link E, I have shown in Fig, 3 the pivot snear one end and the hook 2' attached thereby to the body of the link, and in Fig. 4 the hooks are pivoted together by an eyelet, and that eyelet forms the opening for one of the eyes 0 or d. As the hooks may be made in various ways, so as to close in opposite directions, I do not limit myself in this particular, but prefer hooks made of plates that are pivoted by a rivet, so as not to turn too easily, but comparatively hard, so as not to become unhooked.

I claimas my invention- The combination, with the bar and screweyes in a shade-pull, of a connecting-link having two hooks, that stand in oppositeldirections and grasp the eye when closed, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 4th day of January, A. D. 1884.
